I think Michael's or Hobby Lobby will have wire, but you're better off buying online for a much better price. Nate

I also get my wire online from Rio Grande.

I sell Parawire, but I'm up in Canada, so the shipping would cost you more than the wire unfortunately. Mary

Nice attention to detail. Rio Grande is the best place I have found for silver gold and copper wire. I have bought from Brandywine to get smaller quantity of copper wire but they charge more per foot. Kevin

I do get my wire from Hobby lobby but you don't get much for the price. I will check Out Parawire and I have Rio Grande in my favorites, I am trying to find my way of wrappping and just haven't found it yet.

I agree, Tammy, and those are all exceptional pieces!!! I can't believe you're doing that kind of quality with Hobby Lobby wire!!! As far as "your style" of wrapping, I think that comes with the rocks. I really don't wrap any two stones identically... it really does depend a lot upon what's in the stone you're wrapping. Just keep trying new things that will go with the stones. It'll get a lot more natural as you do!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
